Job Introduction
=================
TexasRealFood, a food and farming media company based near Austin, Texas, is all about promoting a local and sustainable food system in Texas. We connect Texans to their local farms and ranches, farmers markets, artisan food producers and farm to table restaurants. Look us up online or on social media to learn more.
We are now looking for a self filming video content creator in the Austin area to create videos for our website and social media that are all about local food, cooking at home, sustainable & regenerative farming, eating healthy and sustainably in Texas.
Time Commitment & Location
=================
This is a part time role for 10-20 hours per week on a freelance/contract basis. This is a virtual role and you will work from home. Travel within Texas is required so you will need a car. Travel will be mainly in the Central Texas area but potentially further away trips may be required.
Gear
=================
You need your own gear. Professional camera equipment is helpful but not required. A good smartphone will do.
Rate
=================
We will pay $18 per hour, plus travel expenses.
Role Responsibility
=================
You will be creating video content for our website, social media and YouTube. The exact content of the videos will be planned together with our editorial lead, but you can expect to create videos of
– you visiting local farms and ranches, restaurants, farmers markets and other local food businesses and filming (obviously need to take into consideration Covid);
– you speaking into camera making a company announcement;
– you cooking & preparing food;
– you ordering takeaway and review it;
– you talking about food related facts, eg what’s in season right now in Texas;
– you talking about new local food businesses and maybe speak to thereowner in person or over Zoom.
These are just examples. As mentioned, this is all about local food in Texas so the possibilities are endless and we welcome your ideas and active editorial input.
Content Style
=================
We are looking for someone who can create “YouTuber style” videos. We want to AVOID a corporate, glossy look and feel to it, but want the videos to be direct, a bit raw, spontaneous and personable. “Back to the Country” style will work great. Videos should be of different length but typically 1-5 minutes. Many videos will be just you to camera.
